28 de Junio: Vicky vs. Honduras

A feature film that revolves around the murder of a Honduran trans woman, and delves into the conscience by making a cross-section of the political and social reality of Honduras. The 2009 coup d'état disarmed Honduras and ended the life of Vicky Hernández. The documentary reconstructs what happened that night when the streets were only occupied by members of the security forces. It also shows how in the years that followed Hernandez's death did not matter to the State. It was only until the case reached international courts, thanks to the insistence of her family and LGBTI activists, that justice was served.

The Death and Life of Marsha P. Johnson

Describing herself as a 'street queen,' Johnson was a legendary fixture in New York City’s gay ghetto and a tireless voice for LGBT pride since the days of Stonewall, who along with fellow trans icon Sylvia Rivera, founded Street Transvestites Action Revolutionaries (S.T.A.R.), a trans activist group based in the heart of NYC’s Greenwich Village. Her death in 1992 was declared a suicide by the NYPD, but friends never accepted that version of events. Structured as a whodunit, with activist Victoria Cruz cast as detective and audience surrogate, The Death and Life of Marsha P. Johnson celebrates the lasting political legacy of Johnson, while seeking to finally solve the mystery of her unexplained death.
